docs: add reviews data quality and transformation pipeline documentation

[Ritik574-coder]

Summary

Added detailed technical documentation for the bronze.reviews transformation and standardization pipeline, covering profiling methodologies, validation workflows, categorical normalization strategies, temporal standardization logic, defensive engineering principles, and downstream analytical objectives.

The documentation provides a structured overview of:

• review-domain data-quality challenges
• transformation objectives
• standardization methodologies
• validation techniques
• analytical consistency strategies
• operational reliability considerations

Changes made

• Added complete bronze.reviews table documentation
• Documented column-level profiling and validation workflows
• Added review-date standardization methodology documentation
• Documented verified-purchase normalization logic
• Added review-channel semantic standardization details
• Documented customer and product consistency-validation workflows
• Added rating validation and analytical distribution analysis details
• Documented defensive parsing and malformed-record isolation strategies
• Added data-quality techniques and engineering-principles sections
• Documented transformation objectives and downstream analytical goals
• Added final engineering outcome and operational reliability summary

Validation

• Documentation structure reviewed
• SQL transformation logic aligned with documentation
• No sensitive information included
• Markdown formatting verified

Notes for reviewers

The documentation intentionally focuses on operational data-quality realities commonly encountered in enterprise ingestion environments, including:

• heterogeneous date ecosystems
• inconsistent categorical representations
• malformed operational records
• semantic fragmentation
• defensive ETL handling

The implementation follows a profiling-first and validation-driven transformation approach to improve downstream analytical reliability, auditability, and transformation transparency.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added comprehensive documentation for the review data standardization and validation pipeline, detailing transformation stages, data quality measures, and engineering best practices applied to review data processing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds comprehensive Markdown documentation (explore_database/reviews/reviews.md) describing the bronze.reviews SQL Server table and its complete standardization/validation pipeline. The document profiles thirteen data fields across review metadata, entity references, temporal attributes, and user-generated content, detailing objectives, data-quality issues, transformation logic, and SQL techniques for each stage.

Changes

Reviews Table Pipeline Documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Overview and Table Schema explore_database/reviews/reviews.md	Document introduction frames common review data-quality anomalies and pipeline goals; table metadata (layer, name, domain, platform) and final column schema are defined.
Entity Key Validation explore_database/reviews/reviews.md	review_id, txn_id, customer_id, and product_id stages document null/type checks, pattern validation, duplicate detection, and reference integrity logic.
Attribute and Rating Standardization explore_database/reviews/reviews.md	customer name, product name, rating (numeric range/integrity), rating_text, and review_title stages cover title-casing, whitespace cleanup, malformed detection, and categorical distribution analysis.
Temporal and State Field Normalization explore_database/reviews/reviews.md	review_date (locale-aware parsing with ISO conversion and fallbacks), verified_purchase (boolean mapping with unknown consolidation), helpful_votes (non-negative validation), and review_channel (categorical standardization with case normalization).
Engineering Principles, Techniques, and Outcomes explore_database/reviews/reviews.md	Defensive engineering principles, data-quality techniques summary table, technology/method enumeration (SQL Server/T-SQL, TRY_CONVERT, categorical workflows), and final pipeline capabilities.

Poem

🐰 Through fields of data, dusty and worn,
A pipeline born to standardize review form,
Validation knights guard each ID and date,
While ratings shine in standardized state.
From chaos to order, one transaction's care—
A bronze-layer feast beyond compare! ✨
